I much preferred to use, "Understand? or Got it?" It filled that strange need to provide for a verbal response to an order, but did not give the impression of a choice.<br>
I'm curious if my kids even remember me doing that.<br>
Another way to handle it is to preface the order with "please." This provides the necessary courtesy, may give a slight impression of choice, but in a well developed parent/child relationship is not insulting or disingenuous.</p>
